Gospel
text (Mathew 23,27-32): Jesus
said, «Woe to you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are
like whitewashed tombs beautiful in appearance, but inside there are only dead
bones and uncleanness. In the same way you appear as religious to others, but
you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness within. Woe to you, teachers of the
Law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and
decorate the monuments of the righteous. You say: Had we lived in the time of
our ancestors, we would not have joined them in the blood of prophets. So, you
yourselves confess to be kins of those who murdered the prophets. And now,
finish off what your ancestors began!».
Our God is all love and truth, who asks from us humility and forgiveness. Our God is the only living God. He has the word of eternal life. Observing the process of the current protests in the Middle East and many other places in the world by the so called followers of Islam, presumably outraged because they do not like what is being presented in a film about their prophet; it is interesting to distinguish that factual truth, about what is missing in the whole staging of these protests and it is precisely, truth, love, humility and forgiveness and it is not precisely from the ignorant mobs perpetrating the assaults under the direction of their evil leaders, but from the ones supposedly protecting the basic and fundamental freedoms we all in the western civilization which is founded in Christianity, have for granted.
